Fag Hag (Robert Rodi Essentials)

was expecting quirky and funny. got the quirky but surprised by the sad

Yeah, it definitely reminded me of one of my fav TV shows! A fun read, that is until it got really morose....but I don't want to give anything away. Great rainy day read, or vacation book, but not literary prose.

it is 2018 and I am rereading this book, the first time was in 1992. After 25 years I still think of deranged - love crazy - emotionally abused - wildly fun brained Natalie. She just needed a hug. And Peter, none of those relationships would have worked...you were doing him favor.

A fun and fast read! I loved this book and had a hard time putting it down.

The author set the scene well, initially I was drawn in, but then it became a bit ridiculous in the antics being played out. I didn't mind that so much, it was a bit of a farce really and I wanted to see how it turned out. Sadly, the protagonist was a character with absolutely no likeable or redeeming traits and so I found that I was unable to empathise with her in any way. Maybe that was intentional on the author's part. This lack of redeeming qualities and the character's despicable actions was at odds with the ending, which I was very disappointed with, it was quite a let down and wrapped up too quickly and easily.

Great potential yet tumbles into pulp fiction surrealism and never recovers. A lurid cartoon of a potentially thrilling story. Avoid.
